Product Details

Delphi TA2493 is a standard replacement steering tie rod end engineered for direct service on 2006-2013 Suzuki Grand Vitara, outer; 2007-2013 Suzuki SX4, outer; and 2012 Suzuki SX4 Crossover, outer. Delphi applies OE-level testing and material analysis to help maintain steering geometry and part compatibility, while the sealed dust boot and pre-greased construction support long-term service in demanding road conditions. The TA2493 uses a female end 1 and male end 2 configuration, with clockwise thread direction on both ends, making it a practical replacement for worn front outer steering linkage components. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products ES800363 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Loose or vague steering feel at the front wheels
• Clunking or knocking from worn outer steering linkage
• Uneven tire wear caused by excessive toe movement
• Steering wheel play from a worn tie rod end joint
• Inspection failure related to steering component wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Install TA2493 at the front outer steering position only and verify thread direction, stud taper, and alignment settings before returning the vehicle to service. After installation on Suzuki Grand Vitara, Suzuki SX4, or Suzuki SX4 Crossover applications, a professional wheel alignment is required to restore steering geometry and tire wear characteristics. Inspect the mating steering components for wear before installation to avoid repeat service.

Quality Assurance

Delphi subjects its steering components to extreme temperature and salt-spray testing and uses OE-based dimensional and material analysis to support consistent aftermarket performance. TA2493 is built as a standard replacement part for dependable steering service.
